Nancy noticing that the security guards were taking things seriously. She looked at Zack who didn’t utter a word. She tried to quickly defuse the situation by laughing, “Yes, yes, that was me. I screamed. I’m so sorry to have alarmed you. I saw a rat run by and it scared the bejesus out of me!”
The guards looked at the “huge rat” suspiciously, “Really? A rat scared you to scream for help? Don’t worry now, you can tell us. We’ll help you.”
Nancy was so touched by the guard’s assurances that she was close to tears. There are still good people in this world.
“I think I am the one who needs your help, officer. You must not be sexist and biased towards her.” Zack started to speak out in his defense.
Nancy who was close to tears was set off again by what Zack said, “What nonsense are you talking about? It’s already so late and it’s rather tough for the officers, let’s not bother them any longer.”
But the security guards didn’t budge and professionally asked, “What’s the matter, you are?”
Zack wiped his lips and mischievously said with a sly smile, “Someone stole a kiss, I was sexually harassed.”
Nancy was shocked and exploded. Raising her voice even further in an attempt to cover her guilt, “What nonsense are you saying? What, what sexual harassment?”
Zack raised his eyebrow in jest, “What sexual harassment? Who knows that better than you?”
Nancy felt a tightening of her chest and almost had a cardiac event.
The security guards now realized what was going on. They saw that these two were flirting and said, “You youngsters sure know how to create a scene. Okay, okay, it’s great that everything’s fine. Now hurry up and go home, it’s already very late.”
They turned around and were about to leave. The playful Zack continued, “Yo, officers, aren’t you going to give me some justice?”
Nancy shot to his side, covered his mouth with her hands, and shouted to the guards, “Sir, thanks for your concern, we’ll leave now, at once.”
Zack stood with her hands over his mouth until the guards left. Nancy sighed in relief and removed her hands. With her distracted, Zack grabbed her hand and chomped down.
Nancy retracted her hand in pain and looking at Zack in surprise, “Why did you bite me?”
The perp Zack looked at her, “You bit me just now, a tooth for a tooth.”
Nancy was unable to rebut him because she truly did bite him. Not only did she bite him, she even kissed him. So, a tooth for a tooth, does that mean that he’s going to…
When she thought of the possibility, she quickly covered her mouth.
Zack knew what she was thinking, tapped on her forehead, and said, “I’m not like someone who steals a kiss for no rhyme or reason.”
Nancy felt that if she were to die one day, other than violently in a brutal car accident, she will surely die by Zack’s sharp tongue. She now believes that there is a God because Zack must have been sent by God to torment her.
“Are we going? Or do you plan to spend the night in the office? There are huge scary rats here!” Zack stood at the door looking at Nancy who doesn’t seem to be leaving.
“Go, go go, Let’s go!” Nancy hurriedly walked out and glared at Zack again, “Satisfied? Do you enjoy seeing me make a fool of myself?”
